Each new crop experiences startlingly high rates of depression, anxiety, fatigue, and dissatisfaction. Kathryne M. Young was one of those disgruntled law students. After finishing law school (and a PhD), she set out to learn more about the law school experience and how to improve it for future students. Young conducted one of the most ambitious studies of law students ever undertaken, charting the experiences of over 1000 law students from over 100 different law schools, along with hundreds of alumni, dropouts, law professors, and more. How to Be Sort of Happy in Law School is smart, compelling, and highly readable. Combining her own observations and experiences with the results of her study and the latest sociological research on law schools, Young offers a very different take from previous books about law school survival. Instead of assuming her readers should all aspire to law-review-and-big-firm notions of success, Young teaches students how to approach law school on their own terms: how to tune out the drumbeat of oppressive expectations and conventional wisdom to create a new breed of law school experience altogether. Young provides readers with practical tools for finding focus, happiness, and a sense of purpose while facing the seemingly endless onslaught of problems law school presents daily. This book is an indispensable companion for today's law students, prospective law students, and anyone who cares about making law students' lives better. Bursting with warmth, realism, and a touch of firebrand wit, How to Be Sort of Happy in Law School equips law students with much-needed wisdom for thriving during those three crucial years. 606 $aLaw students$zUnited States$xPsychology 606 $aLaw schools$zUnited States$xSociological aspects 615 0$aLaw students$xPsychology. 615 0$aLaw schools$xSociological aspects. 676 $a340.071/173 700 $aYoung$b Kathryne M.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01579715 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796817303321 996 $aHow to Be Sort of Happy in Law School$93859994 997 $aUNINA
